Historic City Villa with Development Potential in the Nikolassee Villa Colony
This representative city villa, dating back to around 1901/1902 and designed by architect Paul Pohl for a Berlin bookseller, combines the architectural charm of the Wilhelminian era with the generous spatial qualities of a classic villa.
As one of the earliest residences in the historic Nikolassee villa colony – formerly known as Villa Meuser – it continues to shape the elegant streetscape and offers tremendous potential for a sophisticated modernisation.
The ground floor already conveys the unmistakable character of the house: three spacious, interconnected reception rooms, a light-flooded conservatory, and an elegant fireplace create a prestigious setting for living, working, and entertaining. Large window fronts ensure a bright, open atmosphere and offer beautiful views of the green garden.
A kitchen, a bathroom, a guest WC, and two additional rooms – ideal as study, guest room, or children’s room – complete this level.
The upper floor comprises three further rooms, a small kitchen and a bathroom – perfectly suited to designing a comfortable sleeping level with three to four bedrooms.
The attic, partially converted in the 1970s, houses a charming small studio as well as a spacious loft area that lends itself perfectly to further expansion.
The extensive basement offers additional utility and functional space – including a sauna with cold plunge, a workshop, the boiler room, and a historic bunker room.
The mature garden surrounds the property with lush greenery and offers numerous possibilities for individual design – whether as a family-friendly retreat, a blooming ornamental garden, or a contemporary outdoor area with a pool.
This villa represents a rare opportunity to thoughtfully modernise a historic property in one of the finest locations of Berlin-Nikolassee and transform it into a timeless family refuge full of character and heritage.

Berlin-Nikolassee is one of the most exclusive residential areas in Berlin’s southwest and, together with the districts of Zehlendorf, Schlachtensee, and Wannsee, ranks among the most sought-after locations in Steglitz-Zehlendorf.
Characterised by generous villas, well-kept single-family homes, mature trees, and expansive gardens, this neighbourhood offers a particularly green, quiet, and family-friendly environment.
The property is located on one of the district’s central streets – in immediate proximity to the Grunewald forest, Schlachtensee, and Wannsee. Numerous recreational opportunities, walking trails, equestrian and tennis facilities, as well as water sports options, make the area a paradise for nature and sports enthusiasts.
Despite its close-to-nature setting, the connection to Berlin’s city centre is excellent: the Nikolassee S-Bahn station and the Spanische Allee / AVUS motorway access are just a few minutes away, ensuring quick travel to City West and the city motorway. Travel time to Kurfürstendamm is approximately 25 minutes.
Daycare centres, renowned schools, shopping facilities, and a wide range of dining options further enhance the high quality of life in this residential area.
Nikolassee is one of the few Berlin neighbourhoods that has preserved its exclusive and almost small-town character – a place that blends discreet elegance with urban convenience and a nature-oriented lifestyle.
The upper floor is currently rented. The lease has been terminated effective July 2026.
